endar, and the House committee decided to call up
those likely to provoke the least discussion first
They first turned to the private calendar and de-
cded to take up the bill for the relief OF the Louise

to prescribe the times sales and for notices OF
sales OF property in the District for taxes; give
the commissioners authority to regulate the con-
struction OF elevators in the District TO pro-

the bill to protect the morals; and then the liquor
license bill the bill for the extension OF streets

the salaries of physicians to the poor and to ex-
tend the charter Of the Ftremans Insurance COM

matters pertaining TO his own Office In the co1lrsa
OF this enlisted mans active efforts he has occa-
sionally visited the Agricultural department and
talked with the commissioner OF agriculture about
the proposed change. The other day he desired to
confer with the commissioner, but was prevented
by Office regulations regarding hours, absence

any he called up the department OF Agrt
culture through the signal Office telepone and sent
word 10 the commissioner that .sMr. wanted
TO see him at the signal Office as soon as possible
He doubtless thought that the Commissioned of
Agriculture could call more time his own than
while before the Agricultural department carriage
stopped before the signal Office. Capt Greely the
acting CHIEF signal officer, saw through his ofce
window the Commissioner OF Agriculture al1ght

work just right until the soldier gently intimated
that he and the commissioner would like to have q
little private conversation. There was nothing
for the acting chief signal officer to do but to fire
himself OUT OF his own office, and he did it. The
TWO gentlemen retired to q window and had few
moments conversation, apparently OF very Inn
p0rtant nature. The commissioner soon took his
departure, and Capt. Greely was allowed to return
to his desk, but the enlisted man had escaped. It
leaked out. that the important Information the
Second-ciaSs private wanted TO obtain was how
the commissioner OF agriculture intended classi-
iying che enlisted men OF the signal service when
The story has caused a good deal OF amusement up
